For the purposes of training, night is 1hr after official sunset-1hr before official sunrise, IIRC.

That's a pretty bold rumor to be spreading without reliable evidence. Probably best to refrain from the rumor mill on this one.

I'm guilty of hypothesizing from time to time as well...

And OP, as long as the expectation of actually getting to the meeting is managed, I say go forth and enjoy your Chik-Fil-A sammich in peace.

It's considered a good time! And don't log it, Mrs SkyDog might audit the log book ;)

Not without jailbreaking the device (if that's even still a thing).

My mini2 is performing well using FltPlanGo App. I'm pleased so far, but I think this is just kicking the can down the road. I will need to update eventually.

Thanks for the clarification regarding flight controls. Good to know not all is lost in the event of a hydraulics failure (I think you had eluded to such a flaw in the T-38 in a different thread).

I see your point, and respect your opinion. With that said, you are missing the big picture completely. Culture problem in the AF? Maybe, but DoD is more accurate. I can tell you from the "trenches" level, it's not us wasting your tax dollars. Look at your election ballot in November to...

I've upgraded to iOS 12 on my mini2 and am pleasantly surprised (so far). I'll hold off on the mini4 for now.

Give this place a shout: http://atlantic-models.com I've been in several USAF Squadrons that used them for going away gifts. They also have a robust inventory of die-cast models as well.

I mount my mini2 with a Ram suction out to the left side flat-is portion of the windscreen in the C172 when I fly IFR. Works well for me and doesn't obstruct the view of the instruments. I too am hoping for a mini refresh, but I'm nearly convinced it isn't happening. I use an iPad Pro (the...

The establishment of online education was what enabled me to finish my undergrad in a reasonable amount of time. Of course, it was helpful being in AMC and being able to knock out assignments while the other FE babysat the panel for a few hours while at cruise, and then submitting said...

Yeah, the gov't system is tedious. If it doesn't work out for your timing, then I guess you have to do the best you can. Just understand that Stafford to SS (and back) at the wrong time of day can cost you multiple hours of transit time. Otherwise, the SFRA has a bigger bark than bite, so to...
